I've already fixed a lot that I wanted to. But much still remains.


Figure out what's scratching the inside of my windows
Dye the ebony console top to match my graphite and replace my busted unit
Get a Hurst or Pro 5.0
Clearcoat my tails (already tinted, but looking a little rough)
Repair and repaint my pass 1/4 panel
Install the 4 new tires I have sitting around
Install pillar gauges
Install soon to arrive gauge overlay



Damn, list is bigger than I thought!

I need:

motor mounts
dash pad recently cracked
front nose painted

I want:

engine rebuilt
wider tires - I'm on 245's :o(
new set of floor mats

All in all everything else it good. I've spent the past two years putting it back together and slightly modifying it. When I got it there were many little problems but it was still worth the $8k I paid.

Fix the headlight issue (we have it narrowed to an automatic popup fault)
Get my rear driver side rim fixed so it stops leaking air
Find out why my passenger side tire is going into the wheel well but the driver side isn't
New lid since the whisper isn't fitting right anymore
Kooks LT headers to get rid of the pacesetters since Texas Speed sent me the wrong ones long ago
Fix spiderwebbing that happened on the front when someone hit my front end
Change the foglamps since the passenger side is burnt out

Clutch is first on the list. Factory clutch sure ain't holding the power I'm putting down. 2nd on the list is the POS 10 bolt that I will once I get a new clutch.
